I'd imagine their client reads SPLs differently, to recode the client so that it reads SPLs differently seems like a lot of work to do just to hinder us from reading them, it would also imply they have the means to radically alter the behaviour of the client, and they assume that we couldn't reverse engineer it, I don't think they have or did either.

I'd hazard a guess and say they haven't tried to tamper with the format, the Chinese and European clients were just coded differently originally, which is why it seems like the SPL files have been altered when we look at it, to accuse the Chinese of stealing and obscuration probably isn't a good position for our community to take, particularly without proof.

We've had numerous occasions where they have taken content and hosted, also I've had the gamemaster of this server on messenger asking for fixes and further content. They use SomaDev as a resource.
